I agree on the chocolate thing, as much as I hate to admit it. My denial still prompts me to try it from time to time and I try to remember what it used to be like as I eat it. Just not the same.

I heard steaks sometimes have a metallic taste and I found out from my oncology nurse that if you put a few drops of fresh lime juice on it, the metallic taste is gone.

I am the chief cook of the family and cooking was my L-I-F-E. Last night my youngest (13) broke my heart. He said, "Dad, it is so sad the food you cook now just doesn't compare to how you cooked before the cancer. I know you don't cook from recipes but by taste and I don't really mind too much." I am sure he meant well and he was accurate, but... frown
